There’s nothing like the smell and taste of freshly baked cookies, and these snowball cookies are a must make for the holidays…. and for pretty much any other occasion.  😉

The key to these delightful cookies is the powdered sugar. They’re rolled not once, but twice in powdered sugar, and believe me, that makes all the difference. They’re amazing!
